Math uses

Math is very important in life. That's why you have to succeed in it. For example going to the store and maybe when you're about to pay and you notice that maybe the price should be cheaper and the cashier typed the price into the machine wrong...or going to the mall and getting drinks for your friends and rounding how much it should be and getting that amount of money. Also I think the most important is paying bills and doing taxes, knowing how much 20 percent of 50 is. But overall math is just required in life.

App reviews

The app the I'm going to be reviewing today is called math expert. The application is just doing multiplication, but although it was great and a good way to ease some free time. It wasn't very challenging...it was just too simple. I love apps the will actually but my brain to work and have myself actually thinking and trying as best as I can. But overall the app was good and I'd play it again.

Calculators

     For calculators, our everyday used tool and sometimes over used. We don't really think of how much relie on calculators. But there is some positive things that come out of them. For one if you are done a question but aren't really sure that its correct you can grab the calculator and check your answer and actually look back and see what you did wrong. But for multiplication just the simple 10 to 1 times table, if you have to use your calculator that's kind if pushing it..but getting to the thousands that's acceptable. Over all I think that it's a bad thing that we have them, because we use them way too often.

In elementary school I did okay in math...but it wasn't one of my favourite subjects. I understood decimals and fractions before but over the summer I forgot how. I didn't really understand how to find the common denominator. And I learn best by actually doing the work, but someone has to be beside me and correct me alone the way.
